Installed cost by material

Common cost questions in SWFL
How much does 150 feet of vinyl fence cost installed?
For a straight 150' privacy vinyl fence at 6' tall with one gate on flat terrain in SWFL, plan $5,500 to $7,500 installed. That includes materials, labor, concrete, and a single-swing gate. Add $200 to $300 for permits.
Is wood or vinyl cheaper for a Florida home?
Wood is often $5 to $10/ft cheaper up front, but vinyl wins on 10-year cost: no staining, no warping, no replacement pickets. In humid SWFL conditions, most customers save money long-term with vinyl.
What's the cheapest fence option?
Chain link is almost always the lowest installed cost. Expect $15 to $25/ft depending on height, finish, gates, and site conditions. It's a good choice for back-of-house, commercial lots, and pet containment. For front-of-house curb appeal, most homeowners prefer aluminum or vinyl.
Does the price include permits?
Our estimate always breaks permitting out as a line item. Typical range $200 to $500 depending on your city and HOA. We pull the permit under our license so you don't touch the paperwork.
